What was it about a man as damaged as Montand that made Emma
say yes when she should have fled and never looked back? His
intense sexual preferences intrigued her more than she’d
been willing to admit. But now that she’s been privy to his
secrets—including a long-ago family tragedy, and the true
identity of a woman who lurks in the shadows of his
mansion—Emma fears she’ll be just one more submissive
conquest in Montand’s troubled life. And then abandoned like
so many who came before.

She needs to be strong and protect her heart, but her
desires won’t let her resist. So, if their affair is to
continue it’ll be on her conditions: it will not continue
indefinitely, only she can end it, and when it’s over,
they’ll part and never speak again of the things they dared
to do behind the locked doors of the Breakers.
